I'm getting the following message whenever I log into my PayPal account:

Canadian law requires that we confirm you’re the account holder. Please visit the Identity Confirmation Dashboard to find out what information we need.

Once you click on the Identity Confirmation Dashboard, you have the following:

The attestation must be submitted on a legible copy of your identity document and must include:

The name, profession, and address of the attestor (commissioner of oaths or guarantor).

My account is not limited or anything but I'm having the following limits:

Sending limit: The maximum amount you can send before you must link and confirm a bank account. You can send up to $999.00 CAD in a 24-hour period, or an overall total of .

Am I the only one? Should I really send the document? This account is legit but I do have other stealth accounts and they have the same limits...:heh:

Re: Canadian PayPal NEW Limits?

Not really. It's a business account linked to a powerseller ebay account. All legit, real business, real name.. All real. Good feedback, nothing weird or wrong with the account itself but I'm not limited or anything, I can receive the money but I don't have high limits..

The other stealth accounts are not linked.. Just basic accounts for small stuff. I don't care that much about them just my main account is very important.

OH I forgot before getting the information in all the accounts, I went to:

I don't mind submitting the document for the real business account but not for the stealth ones.. Also you never know with PayPal, when you gave them what they want. Sometimes they want to piss you off, with more requests so I don't know. I need some advices here :)

Re: Canadian PayPal NEW Limits?

I got the same thing when I noticed the new account limits link next to verified. I think there is a new thing going on in Canada where they report tax information to the US. They're probably just getting ready for it and this is a new addition.

I've sent a contact us email to Paypal asking about it, or what documents work. They just sent me an automated reply.

I'm guessing that these steps are only needed to lift the limits.

Glad I'm not the only one. It's a tax thing then. The beginning of the end..

I have noticed this on my paypal account:

Receiving limit: The maximum amount you can receive in a 24-hour period before you must link and confirm a bank account. You can receive up to $999.00 CAD in a 24-hour period.

I can't really say how long its been there, I noticed it about a month or two ago thought it was applied to everyone...

One of my really old accounts had the same thing when I added $3500 to it from my bank. It was already bank verified and they wanted me to fill in my birth date, occupation, and that kind of things.

I have not experienced it on any of my other accounts yet.

Everyone SINS. paypal is the worst.

Until the end of this year, expect changes to the methods of using paypal.

Been evident for months, this is happening.

Makes me wonder if this has any relationship to Canada ebay being slow to increase selling limits.

It is the last of the larger selling platforms to have requirements the other countries have had for years.

Have to wonder what influence the overseas sellers using paypal Canada have had to do with this issue.

Unless a hijacked plane hits an important skyscraper in Canada that causes the government to duplicate the PATRIOT Act, this really isn't something you need to be worrying anytime soon.

Re: Canadian PayPal NEW Limits?

So if you don't provide the ID docs to paypal canada, then your receiving/sending limits are $1000 every 24h ?

That is not bad.
